Kicking off the series of events: AI is unstoppable. What does that mean for society? In the House of Representatives, experts and politicians gave a lecture on opportunities and threats.
Artificial intelligence: a journey into the unknown, as revealed in parliament yesterday. What effects does AI have on society and democracy? Experts urge caution. AI adopts human cognitive skills, learns from fed data. Current Excitement: Chat GPT. Anyone can use it. For texts, evaluations, work.
Michael Hirschbrich sees the development as a relief. He is a pioneer and great in business. In Austria, there are 150 companies that rely on AI. “There is great potential. For example in medicine or education.” The US is way ahead. Europe and especially Austria should invest more.
Expert: “There are also legal limits”
However, there is a lack of quality control and legal framework; the EU recently presented a first. Chat GPT also poses a risk of fake news in election campaigns or “toxic content”, as Meinhard Lukas, rector of Kepler University in Linz, puts it. “It’s like a black box.” Only operators have the “feed”, verification impossible. “There are also legal limits.” The unpredictable is the alarming, agrees Sarah Spiekermann-Hoff of WU. What do politicians say? MEPs are calling for more money. State Secretary Florian Tursky is once again calling for a separate AI authority.
